Ten Apples Up On Top!
Published: 1961
Author: Dr. Seuss
Illustrator: Roy McKie
Characters: {{{characters}}}
Setting: {{{setting}}}

Three animals, a lion, a dog, and a tiger, who consistently pile apples on their heads for fun as they count from one to ten. Then, the lion, the dog and tiger are chased by a bear with a mop (who tries to knock down their apples) and some seagulls (who want to eat their apples), until they run into a huge apple cart. In the end (after the crash), all the animals have ten apples on their heads.

There is also a Bright & Early Book version of the book which simplifies the story a bit more. The book is meant to help kids to learn to count.
